Can't we just call it THE bowling league?
I know they do it for American Idol et all, but when did the news start phone-in voting? I usually get the news online or radio, but I'm watching it televised as we speak and there, in front of me, is a question, and I'm supposed to phone in my answer, which is strange for a whole myriad of reasons, not the least of which is the question isn't really news-related.
Should boys be allowed to join an all-girl bowling league?
I say Yes. I'm all for bowling. Christopher is on a bowling league and he is very happy after he plays. He does a little dance (an I Bowled Me a High Score, Yessir kind of dance), and I think boys should be involved in whatever activity gets them dancing.
Also: I was the little girl who wanted to play soccer with the boys when I was ten, and I had to prove my stuff, you know? At first, they'd try to disuade me by calling a Shirts vrs. Skins game and making me play on the Skins team, but I got them back real good in the end 'cause my dad got me Castle Grayskull for Christmas (to go with my He-Man and my Skeletor and my orange and green tiger with the saddle) and they all wanted to play with Castle Grayskull so after that, we were friends. And I got to play soccer with my shirt on. There are feminists reading this post and screaming at me, I think. Whatever. I'm pro-inclusion. If the boy has got what it takes to roll with an all-girl bowling league, I say give it a go. If he can't muster it, the girls will tell him where to get off. Girls are great at telling boys where to get off, especially in junior high.

I don't know if the "especially in junior high" is just a closer, or if you are talking about this bowling business, but if you are indeed talking about the bowling business, they are in high school. not that it really matters, either way. i'm just saying.

I'm all for inclusion as well. And my dad also got me a Castle Grayskull one Christmas, along with the Crystal Castle, Attack Trak, and the evil Horde hideout. It was the best holiday ever.
I think we would have been playmates in elementary school if we had lived in the same area and been the same age. :)
